Changing Our License: One Year Later

We transitioned from GPL3 to BSL 1.1 license for Directus, making production use free for users with annual finances under $5M, while requiring larger entities to contribute financially. We changed the license to ensure long-term sustainability and stay true to open source values. The decision was made after involving the community through GitHub discussions and Town Hall meetings, gathering suggestions that ultimately led to the chosen solution. The new license allows for custom usage grants, enabling a broader scope of users, including larger companies and governments, to benefit from Directus while maintaining its open-source ethos.
